The diameter of the roots of the incisors is rather larger than in those of the type, and it is possible that this fragment belongs to a larger male of the same species—at any rate, it is best to refer it here until further material proves the contrary. From the same locality come certain vertebrae and foot- bones which are provisionally referred to this species. Among them is chiefly noticeable an atlas (fig. 3) of extra- ordinary size, far too large for the specimen described above, Fio-. Atlas, upper surface. but possibly belonging to a very large male, since the type is supposed to be a female. The measurements of this bone are as follows, and the measurements of an atlas of R. hicornis are given for comparison :— P. hifftiense. H. hicomis. cm. cm. Extreme width from wing to wing .... 47-5 28-5 Depth of wing 24-0 1 l-O Extreme width of condylar surface .... 27*4 137 The edges of the wings are much roughened for the attach- ment of muscles. The vertebrarterial canal is similar to that.
